WINDOW- SHADE MOUNTING.

and useful Improvements in Window-Shade Mountings, of which thefollowing is a specification. I

Our invention relates to means for mounting the shade-roller on theupper part of the upper sash so that when the upper sash is lowered theshade will be lowered with it, and thus will not obstruct thecirculation of air as when the said roller is mounted on thewindow-frame in the usual manner; and our invention consists of improvedmeans of connecting displaceable roller-supporting arms of theshade-supporting brackets employed to enable the lower sash to be raisedhigher for cleaning than it can be with non-displaceable arms, ashereinafter described, reference being made to the accompanyingdrawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of the upper part ofthe upper sash with our improved .shade-roller-supporting bracketapplied and shown in part in vertical section with dotted linesillustrating the mode of connecting and disconnecting the displaceablearm of the bracket. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the part of the uppersash shown in Fig. l and the base-plate of the roller-supportingbracket, the arm of said bracket being displaced. Fig. 3 is a rear orinside elevation of the said baseplate. Fig. 4 is a detail incross-section of Fig. l on line 44. l

A represents the upper part of the right-' hand stile of a window-sash,and a part of the meeting-rail.

5 represents the base-plate, and c the supporting-arm of a bracketformounting the shade-roller on the sash so that the shade can be shiftedup and down-with the sash to avoid obstructing ventilation by the shadeas when the shade-roller is mounted on the window- I frame in the usualway. In so mounting the the shade-roller when it is desired to shift thesashes suitably for convenient reach of the upper outside part of thelower sash for washing and cleaning the glass. We prefer for thispurpose to employ such brackets consisting of a base-plate b,permanently attached to the sash, and an arm 0, readily attachable toand detachable from the base-plate by means of hook-and-stud connectionsof the character represented in the drawings--that is, a fixed hook d onthe heel of the arm engaging aslot represented in our pendingapplication for Letters Patent filed February 23, 1904, Serial No.194,731, in which we represent a flat baseplate for receiving theconnecting hooks and spur, making it necessary to cut slots in thesurface of the sash to provide spaces for the hook-heads, which we nowpropose to avoid by constructing the base-plate 6 with a chamber Z orchambers in the inner surface in suitable relation to the slots for thehooks for allowing space for the' hook-heads above the surface of thewood, thus making it unnecessary to cut spaces in the wood for them.

The base-plates may of course be made 1n cast metal with the chambersproduced in the castings; but we prefer to stamp them in thln platestock, making the protuberant parts we a on the outer surface with thechamber or chambers for the hook-heads behind.

Besides using less metal, this method of construction affords by reasonof the stamped form stronger and more reliable plates.

What we-claim as our invention is The improved shade roller supportingbracket comprising an attaching base-plate anda roller-supporting armdetachably connected to each other for displacing the arm when thebase-plate is attached to the sash, said detachable connectionconsisting of hookengaging slots in the base-plate communicatprovidedwith an automatically-engaging reing' With inwardly-chambered parts ofsaid taining device. 7 plate, and hook-headed devices of the arm en-Signed at New York this 29th day of April, gaging said slotted andinwardlfv-chagnhered 1904.
